Eco Town Proposal April 2008

In July 2007 the government invited expressions of interest from local authorities and the private sector in the development of Eco-towns. Eco-towns are described as small new towns of at least 5-20,000 homes designed to achieve zero carbon development and more sustainable living using the best new design and architecture.

Following the Government's short list of potential locations for eco towns, 'Middle Quinton' has been included in this list, and will go through to the next stage of consultation.

Middle Quinton Eco Town Proposal

St Modwen and the Bird Group have submitted an expression of interest to the Government for the development of an Eco-town of 6000 dwellings which they are referring to as 'Middle Quinton'. The site extends to 240 hectares and includes the former Engineers Depot now owned by St Modwen and the Birds site to the south-west which is within Wychavon/Worcestershire.
